Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 912 Guo Qiyun's Choice: Zhang Anping's Absolute Loyalty

Guo Qiyun never intended to betray his uncle, but he certainly never thought of using his fiancée to gain credit—when he fell in love with Li Xiaofeng, she was already a well-known movie star, while he was just a wild boy who had come to rely on his uncle.

Because of her own actions, Li Xiaofeng's career only reached the point of being somewhat famous.

He had been waiting for the day he could marry her—he had survived the war years when marriage was forbidden, and he thought that once things settled down, he could give her a grand wedding. However, he was always tied up with official duties, until he suddenly discovered that his fiancée had become a member of the underground Communist Party.

While others avoided the underground Communist Party like the plague, Guo Qiyun knew it very well. After discovering his fiancée's true identity, he didn't blame her but made a decision without hesitation:
Get your fiancée to leave!

After all, he was able to discover his fiancée's identity based on information from the section chief, and if he could discover it, then the section chief certainly could too!

Recalling their previous separation, Guo Qiyun still feels heartbroken. But when his fiancée suddenly appeared in front of him again, he felt a surge of joy, but even more so, fear.

He had followed Wang Tianfeng for too long, and through several unintentional discoveries, he clearly sensed Wang Tianfeng's estrangement from him—it was obvious that Wang Tianfeng had realized the truth behind his annulment of the engagement.

His alienation from himself is irrefutable proof!
Given Wang Tianfeng's personality, he would show no mercy if he discovered Li Xiaofeng—this was his greatest fear.

Seeing the anger and fear in her fiancé's eyes, Li Xiaofeng responded by hugging him tightly with tears in her eyes.

She chose the red faith, but her feelings for her fiancé were never mixed with any other factors.

"Xiao Feng, run! You're a movie star, too many people know you. If you're discovered, you're doomed! Listen to me, run!"

Guo Qiyun certainly enjoyed his fiancée's embrace.

But he dared not become addicted.

Li Xiaofeng finally remembered her mission, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled through her tears:
"Can't you let me stay a little longer?"

At this moment, Guo Qiyun wanted to put everything behind him.

But he could only steel his heart:
"I'm sorry—Xiao Feng, you need to leave immediately, get out of Nanjing right now!"

"You come with me."

Guo Qiyun remained silent, just as he had when Li Xiaofeng made this request before, when he had forced her to leave.

This time, however, Li Xiaofeng's eyes were not filled with disappointment like they had been before.

She simply said softly, "You're going to kill someone, aren't you?"

Guo Qiyun froze—his other side was always hidden when facing Li Xiaofeng.

But this time, he chose to nod firmly.

Seeing Guo Qiyun nod vigorously, Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "You, you..."

“I know you don’t want to let down your uncle who has always trusted you—but what if your uncle wanted to kill you?”

Guo Qiyun was taken aback, but what he saw in Li Xiaofeng's eyes was an undisguised anticipation.

"He...he won't, he won't..."

His voice grew softer and softer. He hadn't considered this possibility, but when Li Xiaofeng brought it up, reason told him:
He... will.

Li Xiaofeng knew Guo Qiyun too well. Seeing the dimness in Guo Qiyun's eyes, she pressed him for an answer:

"Then what are you going to do?"

Guo Qiyun remained silent for a long time before saying:
"I...I won't betray him based on a mere guess."

Li Xiaofeng's voice, however, was more resolute than Guo Qiyun's:

"I know—if I'm wrong, I'll leave, and we'll sever all ties, becoming strangers from now on!"

"But if it's true, you have to come with me!"

Although his voice was firm, Guo Qiyun saw an expectation in his fiancée's eyes that was enough to melt his heart.

Iron and stone can be melted into molten iron!

His left hand clenched into a fist:

"it is good!"

He would not betray Wang Tianfeng, but if Wang Tianfeng were to kill him, he would naturally abandon all his illusions.

He did right by Wang Tianfeng!
As for the Party and the State, he has never wronged them.

Li Xiaofeng smiled, a smile that was incredibly radiant, like the blazing sun in winter, or like a bonfire in the cold night.

"I will come to your rescue. If you live or die, I will not live on!"

Li Xiaofeng silently apologized to her superiors in her heart—she knew she was no longer a Red Army soldier, but when she thought of the torment she had endured in the past, her determination became unwavering.

Without his companionship, I... probably couldn't have endured those long, agonizing years in that ideal world.

……

After Wang Tianfeng filled the intelligence network with exchange cadres from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBI), it naturally became quite impressive.

It was not difficult for them to keep track of Mao Zhongxing's itinerary—even the fact that Mao Zhongxing was a "mystery man" for a group of foreign bankers was secretly discovered by Wang Tianfeng, let alone his whereabouts.

But Mao Zhongxing was clearly unaware that he had been placed on the sanctions list. At that moment, he was still regretfully saying goodbye to the foreign bankers.

Yes, that's a embellished version of the story. The truth is:
After learning that Zhang Anping was incorruptible, these bankers gave up hope—without Zhang Anping as a breakthrough point, they had no way to reopen the old case, and without an investigation, they naturally had no way to demand compensation from the Nationalist government.

After all, the Nationalist government had evidence that the Japanese had bombed away that fortune.

Since that's the case, Mao Zhongxing naturally went from being their honored guest to an unwelcome guest—and was hastily dismissed by them.

After getting on the bus, Mao Zhongxing angrily cursed:

"These foreigners are really ruthless! They treated me like royalty just a while ago, but now... they're treating me like a chamber pot!"

In broad daylight, a chamber pot is such an unpleasant thing to do.

He had foolishly thought that these foreigners respected him so much, and that even if he hadn't managed to outmaneuver Zhang Anping this time, they would have formed a deep friendship with him, and he could have made a fortune by leveraging their connections—but damn it, he'd become their chamber pot!
【A chamber pot, that's useful too. You wait, you'll definitely need me!】

Mao Zhongxing made a solemn vow in his heart: Zhang Anping's position is unstable now. Once his uncle secures the position of director of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, wouldn't he become the second Zhang Anping?
Today you foreigners ignore me, but tomorrow you foreigners will be kneeling before me...

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone call his name. Mao Zhongxing looked closely and saw, "Huh, Guo Qiyun?"
The adjutant of Wang Tianfeng who faked his death, and now his public spokesperson?
"parking--"

He shouted something to the driver, and after the car came to a complete stop, Mao Zhongxing rolled down the window and shouted to the oncoming car:
"Brother Guo, it's quite a coincidence that I met you in this desolate place, far from any village or shop!"

Guo Qiyun poked his head out: "Brother Mao, I have something to tell you—"

After parking, he got out of the car and got into Mao Zhongxing's car. Mao Zhongxing didn't think much of it, but as soon as Guo Qiyun sat down, he suddenly pulled out a pistol.

bang bang bang
Four shots in quick succession, each one fatal!
Mao Zhongxing collapsed in astonishment, unable to believe he would die so suddenly. The driver was stunned by the sudden turn of events. His first reaction was to start the car, and only then did he think of opening the door and running away. But in that time, Guo Qiyun had enough time to unleash all the remaining bullets on him.

He glanced with disgust at the driver who was unwilling but had to die—Mao Zhongxing was bad, but his driver was even worse and deserved to die!
After glancing at Mao Zhongxing's corpse, Guo Qiyun calmly got out of the car, got back in, and then drove to the pre-arranged rendezvous point. According to the plan, he would hand the car over to an agent named Ding San there, who would then be responsible for disposing of the car.

Guo Qiyun drove to the agreed location and saw Ding San waiting there. Guo Qiyun stopped the car, and Ding San opened the back door and got in.

After getting into the car, Ding San quickly said, "Commander Guo, go to Bali Temple—there are brothers there to meet you. You can change cars there, and I'll take care of this one."

Guo Qiyun nodded slightly, glancing subtly at Ding San in the rearview mirror—Ding San was sitting in a very "coincidental" spot, right behind the driver's seat. What a coincidence!
At this moment, Guo Qiyun had completely given up hope.

While the car was in motion, Ding San suddenly twitched his nose: "Commander Guo, why does the car smell of perfume?"

Guo Qiyun remained calm and composed.
"It was sprayed on purpose."

"That's good." Ding San was relieved. This Commander Guo was unassuming, but he had traveled all over the country with the Chief and was very experienced!
The two chatted casually, and just as they were getting into a good time, Ding San quietly took out a steel wire, shouted "Brake!" and as soon as the car stopped, he suddenly stepped forward, put the steel wire around Guo Qiyun's neck, and then pulled it back hard.

Guo Qiyun resignedly closed his eyes, but the next second, a crisp gunshot rang out, and a large, bloody hole appeared on the back of Ding San's head.

Li Xiaofeng!
Li Xiaofeng hiding in the trunk!

Guo Qiyun took a deep breath, turned to look at Ding San slumped in his seat, sighed, and said to his fiancée:

“This guy deserved to die—he accidentally killed a young master's son before, was punished, but was saved by Wang Tianfeng. In order to repay Wang Tianfeng, he did all kinds of dirty work, killed a lot of people, and implicated many innocent people. You have avenged those who died unjustly.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaofeng's tension after the murder vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of elation:
"Great!"

Guo Qiyun smiled, then said seriously:

"Shall we leave?"

Li Xiaofeng nodded firmly: "Let's go—we'll go to a place where even the poor can see hope!"

Guo Qiyun was slightly taken aback.

Yes, that place truly is a place where even the poor can see hope.

Suddenly, he felt that the world had become inexplicably vast.

……

GFB Reserve Cadre Training Bureau.

After listening to Kang Peng's story, the section chief couldn't help but laugh.

The struggle for power is truly everywhere!

After instructing his secretary to take Kang Peng away, the section chief asked Zheng Yaoquan, who was listening in:
Who do you think was behind this?

Someone else would probably be completely confused—they would think the section chief was asking who was plotting against Zhang Anping.

But Zheng Yaoquan knew exactly what the section chief was asking.

"It's probably Mao Renfeng."

He said disdainfully:

"This person, given the chance, wants to get involved in everything."

The section chief asked curiously, "Why don't you think it's Zhang Anping?"

Zheng Yaoquan said confidently, "The Secret Service's feigned ignorance mentioned by this person is Zhang Anping's doing."

The section chief nodded slightly: "That's right. Only Zhang Anping could make the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics turn a blind eye—he certainly knows how to endure humiliation!"

"Their homes have been demolished, yet they remain indifferent."

Zheng Yaoquan, however, objected, saying:
"I think he wasn't indifferent, but rather considering the bigger picture."

The section chief couldn't help but ask further:

"Huh? Why?"

Zheng Yaoquan immediately launched into a long, rambling speech:
"After leaving the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, I reflected on my gains and losses—and finally I realized that I was too concerned about power."

Although his answer was completely irrelevant, the section chief was captivated and gestured for Zheng Yaoquan to continue:
"After the Military Intelligence Bureau was reorganized into the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, Zhang and Mao fought fiercely. It was Zhang Anping who specifically sought me out, which is how I was finally able to be parachuted into the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."

The section chief seemed to be deep in thought.

In hindsight, Zhang Anping's actions were nothing short of inviting trouble and making a complete waste of time. He ended up having to face the combined pressure from Zheng Yaoquan and Mao Renfeng, and ultimately had to overturn the table and force Zheng Yaoquan out.

But what if we look at it from Zhang Anping's perspective at the time?

Introducing a third party is a way to stop the war!
“After I took over the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, I began to suppress Zhang Anping and support Mao Renfeng—in fact, this was an inherent method of protecting power, and I think he actually accepted it.”

"But it escalated further, to the point that internal strife made it impossible to get things done. In the end, Mao Renfeng resorted to underhanded tactics, using the interests of the Party and the State as bargaining chips to scheme against Zhang Anping, which finally provoked Zhang Anping to overturn the table!"

"At the time, I was thinking that Zhang Anping should overturn the table and knock Mao Renfeng down, but I didn't expect him to come at me instead—truly, he brought it on himself!"

Zheng Yaoquan could only manage a wry smile, which amused the section chief standing beside him.

Why would they target Zheng Yaoquan?
Since Mao Renfeng has something to hold over him, who else should they attack if not Zheng Yaoquan?
He didn't comment on Zheng Yaoquan, but instead commented on Mao Renfeng:
"Mao Renfeng is a thorough and sophisticated egoist. He is willing to sacrifice anything for his own benefit, even the interests of the Party and the country!"

“That’s right, that’s exactly who he is!” Zheng Yaoquan added without holding back—I’ve even analyzed myself, what’s a little stab to Mao Renfeng?
He then continued:
"Zhang Anping overturned the table for a simple reason—because he wanted to get things done, but the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics at that time imposed too many restrictions on him, making it impossible for him to do anything."

The section chief shook his head, pointed at Zheng Yaoquan, and said, "You..."

Although it was clearly an accusation, Zheng Yaoquan was secretly overjoyed—why was he dissecting himself?

Is he stupid?
Do not!
It's because he realized that he was blinded by greed and had outwardly complied with the director's wishes but inwardly defied him for the sake of power, which caused the director to harbor resentment. Now, he can use the method of self-criticism to admit his mistakes to the director!
Having achieved his goal, Zheng Yaoquan gave a concluding speech:

"So, he's the kind of person who prioritizes the big picture. In the current situation, he probably doesn't want to cause any more trouble, so he'd rather endure humiliation than make a scene."

"But compared to him, people like Mao Renfeng are more interested in creating chaos—this is naturally his doing!"

"This guy is dreaming of kicking Zhang Anping out—I guarantee that Mao Renfeng is involved in this round of pressure from the foreigners, otherwise they probably wouldn't have thought of using Zhang Anping as a breakthrough point."

The section chief nodded, agreeing with Zheng Yaoquan's assessment, and his disgust for Mao Renfeng deepened.

But then he said with exasperation:

"This Zhang Anping has seriously underestimated me!"

Zhang Anping preferred to endure humiliation and keep the matter quiet rather than escalate it, which clearly showed that he looked down on him!

“That’s because he doesn’t know you well enough!” Zheng Yaoquan chimed in, subtly expressing his loyalty.

The section chief clenched his fist and said, "Sooner or later, he will understand me completely!"

Zheng Yaoquan's eyes darted around:
“Director, I think the next task is perfect for Zhang Anping to handle—it’s an opportunity for him to get to know you!”

“That makes sense—this guy used the Chen mansion as a response to me, thinking I would be discouraged? Now he's facing such humiliation and is just going to swallow his pride and bear the shame, ha!”

The section chief couldn't help but laugh. "Didn't you want to settle this peacefully?"
You'd rather suffer in silence than believe me?

Then I'll show you my resolute attitude!

It's impossible for Zheng Yaoquan not to feel a pang of jealousy at the director's attitude, but he still had to pretend to cooperate and asked:

"Shall we go to the Security Bureau now?"

The section chief nodded: "Hmm, to the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics—I heard he even gave his secretary a vacation, probably wanting to keep a low profile for a while. But I think he's overthinking it! The Party and the State... need him too much!" (End of Chapter)
